My Students

My students are a fun group of creative and active fifth graders. We live in a rural, isolated village in northwest Alaska, where many students practice subsistence hunting and fishing to support their families. Most of my students are Native Alaskan and are taught traditional native values.

My students love playing sports, hunting caribou, riding snow machines and four-wheelers, going ice fishing, and sledding.

My students are a diverse group, with strong ties to their families, their culture, and the land. In the classroom, they are an energetic group that enjoys working in groups, doing hands-on activities, and playing goofy games.

My Project

My students this year will be coming to school after a crazy year of COVID worries and interruptions. With these supplies, I can welcome my new students back to school with new, fun supplies. The folders will be used as homework folders. The pencil boxes will be used to keep supplies separate, clean, and safe. I also included some prizes and rewards to motivate my students to do their best.

My students will be so excited to see these new supplies on their desks the first day back in school.

Help us to start the new year off right!
